Quantum Machine Learning for Financial Services

This is the second Expanding Frontiers episode devoted to quantum computing for finance. It  explores the current (2024) state and future potential of Quantum Machine Learning (QML), specifically focusing on its applications within the financial services industry. We discuss various QML algorithms including Quantum Variational Classifiers, Quantum Kernel Estimation, and Quantum Neural Networks, and also touch upon quantum generative AI techniques like Quantum Transformers and Quantum Graph Neural Networks. The paper discussed identifies key financial applications for QML, such as risk management, credit scoring, fraud detection, and stock price prediction, while also outlining the promises and limitations of integrating QML into real-world financial operations. The review aims to serve as a practical guide for financial professionals and data scientists interested in understanding QML's relevance to their field.   References  A Brief Review of Quantum Machine Learning for Financial Services (July 2024) Mina Doosti, Petros Wallden, Conor Brian Hamill, Robert Hankache, Oliver Thomson Brown, Chris Heunen https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2407.12618   Resources Medium article: Are You Ready to Learn About Quantum Computing?
